My experience, as a novelist, between the primary sources and the historians. This essay is both an interpretation of The Secret History of the Mongols, and a commentary on one creative writer’s interactions with the body of secondary work on this source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovelists, inevitably, have a different perspective on the source material (unless a historian moves along the spectrum towards a novelist’s position). We weigh things differently; we seek out things of less concern to historians. Or so I have found in my fifteen years spent with my primary source and the secondary work upon it. I believe in the worth of case studies, and have written out my experience: the three-way conversation between source, novelist and historians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bryn Hammond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083207819504,"sku":"2940154128114","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154128114_p0.jpg?v=1764109199","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154128114","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
